Cause
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) has not been installed or is not at the correct version.
Solution or Workaround
- Verify that the VBA has been installed by selecting Tools > Macros. If the Visual Basic Editor is grayed out, the editor has not been installed.
- At version 8.x, VBA can be installed by running the ArcMap_vba.msi under the \Support\Vba6 folder found on the install CD.
- At 9.3 and 9.3.1, VBA can be installed by running the VBAOF11.msi and VBAOF11I.msi under the VBA and 1033 folders found on the install CD.
